Thank you Rob for your excellent advice on the first take off of a newly built KR2. Honestly, I will be thrilled and so happy if my first take off will be more or less like Robert Gill did on that video...!
I am also amazed to watch the 2nd video you shared with us in that, the stability, control and landing of the KR2 looks so incredibly good, and it is even more smoothy than my Piper Cherokee which is about 1500lbs heavier than the KR2! I still need someone to help out on the first take off of my KR because experience is what it takes!! I am willing to transport my KR to another location or paying all the expenses for a fellow KR2 guru in this group to fly his KR2 bird this way here at KAEG?!
